//! Substrate Inherent Extrinsics
//!
//! Inherent extrinsics are extrinsics that are inherently added to each block. However, it is up to
//! the runtime implementation to require an inherent for each block or to make it optional.
//! Inherents are mainly used to pass data from the block producer to the runtime. So, inherents
//! require some part that is running on the client side and some part that is running on the
//! runtime side. Any data that is required by an inherent is passed as [`InherentData`] from the
//! client to the runtime when the inherents are constructed.
//!
//! The process of constructing and applying inherents is the following:
//!
//! 1. The block producer first creates the [`InherentData`] by using the inherent data providers
//! that are created by [`CreateInherentDataProviders`].
//!
//! 2. The [`InherentData`] is passed to the `inherent_extrinsics` function of the `BlockBuilder`
//! runtime api. This will call the runtime which will create all the inherents that should be
//! applied to the block.
//!
//! 3. Apply each inherent to the block like any normal extrinsic.
//!
//! On block import the inherents in the block are checked by calling the `check_inherents` runtime
//! API. This will also pass an instance of [`InherentData`] which the runtime can use to validate
//! all inherents. If some inherent data isn't required for validating an inherent, it can be
//! omitted when providing the inherent data providers for block import.
//!
//! # Providing inherent data
//!
//! To provide inherent data from the client side, [`InherentDataProvider`] should be implemented.
//!
//! ```
//! use codec::Decode;
//! use sp_inherents::{InherentIdentifier, InherentData};
//!
//! // This needs to be unique for the runtime.
//! const INHERENT_IDENTIFIER: InherentIdentifier = *b"testinh0";
//!
//! /// Some custom inherent data provider
//! struct InherentDataProvider;
//!
//! #[async_trait::async_trait]
//! impl sp_inherents::InherentDataProvider for InherentDataProvider {
//! 	async fn provide_inherent_data(
//! 		&self,
//! 		inherent_data: &mut InherentData,
//! 	) -> Result<(), sp_inherents::Error> {
//! 		// We can insert any data that implements [`codec::Encode`].
//! 		inherent_data.put_data(INHERENT_IDENTIFIER, &"hello")
//! 	}
//!
//! 	/// When validating the inherents, the runtime implementation can throw errors. We support
//! 	/// two error modes, fatal and non-fatal errors. A fatal error means that the block is invalid
//! 	/// and this function here should return `Err(_)` to not import the block. Non-fatal errors
//! 	/// are allowed to be handled here in this function and the function should return `Ok(())`
//! 	/// if it could be handled. A non-fatal error is for example that a block is in the future
//! 	/// from the point of view of the local node. In such a case the block import for example
//! 	/// should be delayed until the block is valid.
//! 	///
//! 	/// If this functions returns `None`, it means that it is not responsible for this error or
//! 	/// that the error could not be interpreted.
//! 	async fn try_handle_error(
//! 		&self,
//! 		identifier: &InherentIdentifier,
//! 		mut error: &[u8],
//! 	) -> Option<Result<(), sp_inherents::Error>> {
//! 		// Check if this error belongs to us.
//! 		if *identifier != INHERENT_IDENTIFIER {
//! 			return None;
//! 		}
//!
//! 		// For demonstration purposes we are using a `String` as error type. In real
//! 		// implementations it is advised to not use `String`.
//! 		Some(Err(
//! 			sp_inherents::Error::Application(Box::from(String::decode(&mut error).ok()?))
//! 		))
//! 	}
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! In the service the relevant inherent data providers need to be passed the block production and
//! the block import. As already highlighted above, the providers can be different between import
//! and production.
//!
//! ```
//! # use sp_runtime::{generic::UncheckedExtrinsic, testing::MockCallU64};
//! # use sp_inherents::{InherentIdentifier, InherentData};
//! # use futures::FutureExt;
//! # type Block = sp_runtime::testing::Block<UncheckedExtrinsic<u64, MockCallU64, (), ()>>;

//! 	// The second parameter to the trait are parameters that depend on what the caller

//! 	_: impl sp_inherents::CreateInherentDataProviders<Block, ()>,
//! ) {

//!
//! async fn cool_consensus_block_import(
//! 	_: impl sp_inherents::CreateInherentDataProviders<Block, ()>,
//! ) {
//! 	// do cool stuff
//! }
//!
//! async fn build_service(is_validator: bool) {
//! 	// For block import we don't pass any inherent data provider, because our runtime
//! 	// does not need any inherent data to validate the inherents.
//! 	let block_import = cool_consensus_block_import(|_parent, ()| async { Ok(()) });
//!
//! 	let block_production = if is_validator {
//! 		// For block production we want to provide our inherent data provider
//! 		cool_consensus_block_production(|_parent, ()| async {
//! 			Ok(InherentDataProvider)
//! 		}).boxed()
//! 	} else {
//! 		futures::future::pending().boxed()
//! 	};
//!
//! 	futures::pin_mut!(block_import);
//!
//! 	futures::future::select(block_import, block_production).await;
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! # Creating the inherent
//!
//! As the inherents are created by the runtime, it depends on the runtime implementation on how
//! to create the inherents. As already described above the client side passes the [`InherentData`]
//! and expects the runtime to construct the inherents out of it. When validating the inherents,
//! [`CheckInherentsResult`] is used to communicate the result client side.
